We present a review of the discrete dipole approximation (DDA), which is a general method
to simulate light scattering by arbitrarily shaped particles. We put the method in historical …

There are many methods for rigorously calculating electromagnetic diffraction by objects of
arbitrary shape and permittivity. In this article, we will detail the discrete dipole …

The seventh edition of this classic text outlines the fundamental physical principles of
thermal radiation, as well as analytical and numerical techniques for quantifying radiative …

The open-source code ADDA is described, which implements the discrete dipole
approximation (DDA), a method to simulate light scattering by finite 3D objects of arbitrary …

A data library is developed containing the scattering, absorption, and polarization properties
of ice particles in the spectral range from 0.2 to 100 μm. The properties are computed based …

The invariant imbedding T-matrix method (II-TM) is employed to compute the optical
properties of randomly oriented ice crystals of various shapes including hexagonal columns …

We present an axisymmetric computational model to study the heating processes of gold
nanoparticles, specifically nanorods, in aqueous medium by femtosecond laser pulses. We …

Three terms,“Waterman's T-matrix method”,“extended boundary condition method (EBCM)”,
and “null field method”, have been interchangeable in the literature to indicate a method …

A new physical-geometric optics hybrid (PGOH) method is developed to compute the
scattering and absorption properties of ice particles. This method is suitable for studying the …

The radiative effects of Saharan dust aerosols are investigated in the NASA GEOS‐5
atmospheric general circulation model. A sectional aerosol microphysics model (CARMA) is …
